Well, one thing that I'd really like to know is why would the Guru saying that she can see someone with blue eyes make them leave? They themselves can see at least 99 other people with blue eyes so there'd be no way for them to know which one she was talking about. Also, none of them would leave because, being logical, they would understand that no one else is leaving not because they no she's NOT talking about them, but because they have NO WAY of knowing that she IS talking about them.
That's the answer. No one leaves. It's absolutely impossible for them to know which one she was talking about. Knowing that the Guru can see a person with blue eyes is stupid anyway BECAUSE THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT!!
Man, this riddle is beyond dumb. Thus is it so, thus shall it ever be!
"Thanks for telling us something that all of us already know, you old bag! Now why don't you tell me what my friggen' eye color is so that I can get off this stupid island?!"
Oh, and how would knowing that one person has blue eyes [something that everyone already knows] suddenly make people realize they have blue eyes when they notice that none of the blue-eyed people are leaving? Or is this something along the lines of "LOL 100!"? Why wouldn't something with green eyes believe that they were the person with blue eyes that was spoken of?
Honestly, it doesn't even make logical sense, much less common sense.
